President Donald Trump vowed to admit 600,000 Chinese students to U.S. universities and described China as an important partner. Secretary of State Marco Rubio had previously pledged to revoke visas of Chinese nationals tied to the Communist Party or involved in sensitive research. Laura Loomer publicly broke with Trump, calling the incoming students CCP spies and arguing that admitting 600,000 students undermines mass deportation claims. Loomer urged Stephen Miller to oppose the decision and asserted China had killed 1.2 million Americans. Several pro-Trump loyalists, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, expressed similar fury over the decision.
MAGA firebrand Laura Loomer declared a rare break with President Donald Trump on Monday night over his vow to expand student visas for China. Hours earlier, Trump promised 600,000 Chinese students will be admitted to U.S. universities in a stark reversal of the administration's previous stance. As recently as May, Secretary of State Marco Rubio promised to aggressively revoke visas of Chinese nationals tied to the Communist Party or working in sensitive research. Speaking from the Oval Office on Monday, however, Trump hailed Beijing as a very important partner and insisted, "We're going to allow their students to come in. It's very important, 600,000 students. It's very important. But we're going to get along with China."
If we are only mass deporting 1,000 illegals each day but allowing 600,000 Chinese spies to come to our country, how can we call them mass deportations? Do the math. We will never get rid of the millions who came in under Biden. It's basic math. https://t.co/bKTAW8VUvq Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) August 25, 2025 Now that we are importing 600,000 CCP spies, what's the point of American students going into STEM? Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) August 26, 2025 Paging @StephenM Nobody, I repeat nobody, wants 600,000 more Chinese students aka Communist spies in the United States. China murdered 1.2 million Americans. Now they get to replace us? This cannot happen. Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) August 25, 2025
The decision also infuriated several key pro-Trump loyalists who have long cast Chinese students as potential security risks. In a rare moment of unity between the two, Loomer's anger was echoed by her MAGA nemesis, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), with whom she's had a long-running war
